Morocco will start organizing cultural circuits trips for tourists to discover historical monuments and archeological sites in various regions of the kingdom.

Culture and communication minister, Mohamed Achaari, who launched the first experience of the kind that will lead visitors to Oukaimden's rock paintings site, said the experience is meant to promote this type of tourism and attract more visitors. It will also help break the isolation of the rural world, initiate new activities when the winter sports season is over and contributing to sustained development.

The Oukaimden's rock paintings site contains over 1,000 paintings representing weapons and animals some of which date back to 1,500 BC.
